From autism therapies, autism medications and autism diets, here’s everything you need to know about autism treatment and whether there’s a cure.
In ABA, practitioners use rewards and consequences to teach behaviours, while also modifying the child’s environment. For instance, if a child normally runs from a loud noise, the practitioner will turn the sound down and encourage him to stay where he is. The reward comes in when, next time, he himself ask for the sound to be turned down, or requests noise-cancelling headphones.
Those who think in more abstract ways may not necessarily have a concrete plan; the focus may be on changing distressing thoughts to healthy ones. “We use these medications with caution. And we use the time kids are on medication to help them learn adaptive behaviours. Often as they adapt, we may be able to reduce or stop the medication,” says Amirali, explaining that when kids are less irritable or aggressive it may be easier for them to learn, and it’s easier forSome medical experts now think of autism as a whole-body condition that can affect the gut, the immune system and metabolism, for instance.
“We can better predict how to treat when we know what we are dealing with from a causative point. And there will likely be a strong genetic component as the cause, so key is to identify genetic traits known to impact autism,” she says. Grace Iarocci, director of the Autism and Developmental Disorders Lab at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, also believes the next autism treatments should be tailored to the individual person.
